FFKCEG LOOM-SHUTTLE.

ESPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,616, dated January19. 1886.

Application filed July 15, 1885. Serial No. 171,653. (No model.)

To. aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES C. SERGEsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Loom-Shuttles, whichimprovement is fully set forth in the following specification andaccompanying drawingsin which Figure 1 represents a side elevation of aportion of a loom-shuttle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents atop view thereof. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section thereof inline or m, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 represents a transverse section thereof inline 3 Fig. 2. Fig. 5 represents a transverse section thereof in line 22, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

My invention consists of a shuttle provided with-means, substantially ashereinafter set forth, whereby the yarn may be readily threaded in theeye or guide.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a loom-shuttle body, which is ofwell-known form and construction.

B represents an eye or slotted plate,through which the yarn is passedout from the bobbin or cop, the same being properly fitted in the sideof the shuttle-body and secured thereto. The said plate is slotted, asat a, having one of the walls, 13 thereof toward the. main portion ofthe shuttle-body of a greater height than the other wall portion, B. Theupper portion of the wall B is formed somewhat inclined or sloping onits outer side, as seen in Fig. 5. Rising from the end of theshuttlebody, adjacent to the eye B and forward of the same, is a post,0, and on the same is sustained a horizontallyarranged plate, D, itbeing noticed that a recess, a, and channel I) exist, respectively,between the post and plate and the adjacent portions of theshuttle-body. One side of the plate is extended to the top of the eye Band has a depending lip, E, the lower edge of which is extended so as tocome in contact with the upper edge ofthe wall B of the slot of said eyeon the side toward the spindle. The top of the other Wall of said slothas on its inner face a deflector, F,whereby the yarn will beunfailingly guided to the drawn out by the fingers or a hook, if de- 7slot, as will be hereinafter more fully described. The side of the plateD opposite to the lip E has a lip, G, which depends nearthe outer edgethereof, and is separated from the adjacent part of the shuttle by thebeginning of the channel I). The side of the post has a spiral groove,H, by which the yarn is directed to the bottom of the post, and thusguided to the base of the slot or opening of the eye B.

The operation is as follows: The yarn is directed to the channel I) andrun around the same, whereby it passes under the plate D, and thenaround the post, after which it passes in the direction toward thebobbin or cop, strikes the deflector F on the wall or part B of the eye,and comes in contact with the wall or part B of said eye, it beingnoticed that the part B rises above the part B, and, as has been stated,is in contact with the plate D. As the yarn cannot pass over the top ofthe part B, owing to said plate D, it descends the slot of the eye B andappears in front of the part B, as seen in Fig. 1, where it may besired, and thus theyarn may be run offthrough said eye, it being noticedthat owing to the spiral groove of the post 0, the yarn thereafter isdirected to the bottom of said groove, and thus retained at the base ofthe slot of the eye. Should the yarn rise while running under the plateD, the lip G prevents the same reaching the channel I) and escapingtherefrom. Owing to the slot of the eye B being closed at top by thewall of the opening, in which said eye is fitted, and the plate D, yarnis preventedfrom escaping between the top of the eye and adjacentportion of the shuttle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A shuttle-body provided with the slotted eye B, having parts B B", ofunequal height, forming walls to said slot, and the plate D, havingdepending lip E, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A shuttle-body provided with the slotted eye B, having innerdeflector, F, and parts B B", in combination with the post 0 and plateD, having depending lip E, the latter no being in contact with said partBof the slotted I body, and the plate D, having depending lips eye B,substantially as and for the purpose set E and G, substantially asdescribed.
